Now in use as flats, this was formerly the Post Office Research Station where Colossus was built by a team led by Tommy Flowers. Colossus was the world's first digital electronic programmable computer. Colossus and its successors were used by code breakers at Bletchley Park to decrypt German messages during the Second World War. The computer used thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to perform the calculations. A nearby street is named Flowers Close in honour of the team leader.
